Arterial blood flow to the area scapula and shoulder of a rabbit

Studies of the structure of the circulatory system of animals are of great theoretical value. The data obtained as a result of their implementation substantially enrich the comparative anatomy and are fundamental for the development of the theory of evolution. In addition, data on the course and branching of the main main vessels can help in the selection of operational access. This applies particularly to extremities, at a fraction of the injuries which account for most of the pathologies of non-infectious nature. Therefore, the objective of this study is to study the characteristics of arterial blood supply to the area of the scapula, the shoulder of the rabbit and to determine the course and branching of the main trunk vessel and give them a morphometric feature. The study was conducted on the dead bodies of five rabbits of different sexes breed German giant at the age of 7-8 months. The study used the methodology of thin anatomical dissection, morphometric analysis of photographs and waterintensive. The suspension of lead minium in turpentine with ethyl rectified alcohol (lead minium 10%, live turpentine 30-60%, alcohol up to 100%) was used as x-ray contrast mass. The injection was carried out by a conventional method through the abdominal aorta. When specifying anatomical terms, the International veterinary anatomical nomenclature of the fifth edition was used. Found that the main arterial trunk supplying the thoracic organs, the limbs of the rabbit breed German giant is the axillary artery. The latter is a continuation of the subclavian artery. Having rounded the first rib, it goes to the medial surface of the shoulder joint. Ahead of the joint gives dorsally directed acromial artery that feeds the abound muscle, and behind it is divided into subtopic and brachial arteries. The subscapular artery is the main blood vessel in the region of the blade. On its way it gives off the thoracodorsal artery, caudal artery circumferential shoulder circumferential artery of the scapula, as well as the numerous muscular branches of the large round muscle, the tensor fascia of the forearm and the triceps muscle of the shoulder. The brachial artery is the main arterial highway in the shoulder area. On its way, it gives cranial circumferential artery of the shoulder, the artery of the biceps muscle, radial collateral artery, deep artery of the shoulder, ulnar collateral artery, as well as the common interosseous artery.
